GDT: SCQF Game 2 | Leafs vs Habs - 5/22/21 @ 7:00pm EST

[Alerion]

I also have no idea what is and isn't a penalty any more because there were 5+ more blatant infractions than the 2 mins Hyman got for having bad breath.

 

[William Hylander]

I see Katie Perry is looking at someone, maybe someone should give him something to sing about.

 

[saffronleaf]

Man joe thornton is just not good anymore.. is there any other realistic options to replace him?

Nash, Brooks, Robertson

 

[Gallagbi]

Great period.

If that's great were in a lot of trouble.

Need to keep our feet moving, were pulling up way too often for a dump in. Keep possession, move our feet and go to space instead of traffic. It's what the Engvall is is doing and why they were our best that period.

 

[On-the-Fly]

This game is far too even. This should not happen.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Why did Kotkaniemi hold four fingers in the air? Is that the amount of goals he scored this year?

More likely the amount of points.

 

[wingman75]

Not a bad 1st period... prob the least physical period ive seen from any games in any series so far.... which i think is good from a leaf perspective... hopefully matthews/marner can find space and cash in

Really? I thought that was one of the most physical periods we played all season... Now, I am a couple pints in so...

 

[RomanianLeafs]

For me its pretty clear we are the better team but this team is scared not to exit again în the first round and they play to scared..but if we manage to go to second round i think this guys confidence will explode

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Hyman is not ready and making awful plays. Marner is completely out to lunch. Literally matty all by himself.

Put matty with will

 

[Sittler 27]

Leafs a little belligerent that period. Nice

 

[saffronleaf]

I swear to god Keefe's stubbornness with Thornton is just insane.

Dubas needs to take away Keefe's toys. Keefe's obsession with Thornton is starting to feel like Babcock's with Marleau.

 

[TMLeafer]

Shitty plays just follow Perry around don't they.

 

[fahad203]

I see Katie Perry is looking at someone, maybe someone should give him something to sing about.

Him and Joe going at it would be epic. Just for old time sakes

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Wasn't able to see the first period except for the very end. Looks like Matthews, Marner etc haven't shown up again?

 

[IrishInOntario]

I remember Babcock saying in the playoffs, you need your depth to win the first few games. The longer it goes, the more impactful your stars are. I didn't agree but he's won a lot. I wonder how accurate that is.

Do you want me to post, again, how many points Rantanen, Mackinnon, Makar and Landeskog have right now? Or Stamkos, Point, Kucherov and Hedman, or Svechnikov, Teravainen and Aho? Even Marchand, Pasternak, Hall and McAvoy are tearing it up!

I'm simply expecting the same thing from our best players. Matthews, Nylander, Marner and Reilly. I'm expecting anymore or less.

 

[hamzarocks]

Holl really should be considered as a scratch just a dumb player

Dermott should be in for Holl or Sandin in game 3

 

[crump]

Spezza great period. Good PK. Muzzin having trouble finding the puck in his feet. Need some more chances from our expensive players. Liked that last shift by the old fellers.

 

[DirkStraun]

Loving our Vet line and what they bring. Doing everything right so far.

 

[TopChedder]

Marner is not a playoff player. It's 5 years in and very obvious.

I also have never wanted to be so wrong and have him make me look stupid.

 

[LastOne2100]

Wasn't able to see the first period except for the very end. Looks like Matthews, Marner etc haven't shown up again?

Complete no shows. Third and fourth lines have been stepping up though.

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

I can definitely see us losing if we keep playing the way we did in the first. The team is an utter joke, especially the star players.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Not a bad 1st period... prob the least physical period ive seen from any games in any series so far.... which i think is good from a leaf perspective... hopefully matthews/marner can find space and cash in

u must not have watched very many games so far this playoffs because there were 37 hits that 1st period.
Heck the 2 earlier games today were way less physical than this game so far.

 

[hockeyes]

I also have no idea what is and isn't a penalty any more because there were 5+ more blatant infractions than the 2 mins Hyman got for having bad breath.

Not only that, but Hyman only grabbed him because he was being interfered with and boxed out from skating around him.

 

[Carltons Cup]

I'm still grappling with Hyman's penalty call and the no call on Simmonds being tripped????

 

[socko]

This game is far too even. This should not happen.

The Leafs aren't built for the playoffs. Did you watch the Tampa game today? I can only dream of a PP like that. Ours is like an ECHL team compared to theirs.
